Tabular Form of Bacterial Classification From David Bergey's Manual
Members
of
this
group
are
spherical,
in
pairs
or
in
masses
with
adjacent
sides
flattened
or
Rod
shaped.
Non
motile,
aerobic
and
some
species
contain
a
xanthophyll
pigment.
Some
members
are
parasitic,
while
others
are
saprophytic
or
opportunistic.
Cells
of
two
genera
namely
Neisseria
and
Branhamella
divide
in
two
planes
while
cells
in
Moraxella
and
Acinetobacter
divide
in
one
plane.
Members
of
the
genera
Neisseria
and
Branhamella
are
parasites
found
in
the
mucous
membranes
of
mammals
while
members
of
the
genus
Acinetobacter
are
free
living
bacteria
commonly
found
in
soil
and
water.s
